Sunday 19 January - Near Aguilas

We cannot say an undisturbed night because this is becoming a feature of the holiday, Jamie wanting out at 6.30. But it was Sunday so once he had been seen to it was quiet until a much more respectable hour saw us greet an absolutely beautiful morning, the sun heating up the van very quickly. Smoked salmon breakfast, no particular reason why we didn't have the bacon we'd brought in the freezer, it had just been an impulse purchase at Mercadonna. To hell with the cost we're going to enjoy ourselves!

First order of the day was to refill the water tank and see how our repairs had done. To our relief not a drop of water after the first partial fill so we continued until full. A few checks later we declared ourselves satisfied - now, that concrete lip could do with some attention..................


 

Much of the rest of the day was spent sitting out in the sun, enjoying the view and the pleasant company. Late afternoon a little foray with Derek down to the unofficial rubbish dump - no facility in the complex, electricity was supplied by the site owners which we learned was not cheap and explained the profusion of solar panels, gas was by self-purchased bottles and the water was apparently from a local source and not to be entirely trusted. Ah well, you can't have everything and paradise too but it seemed to suit a lot of people as the properties appeared to sell easily enough, next door spent all day finishing emptying theirs.

As the sun set (bother, forgot the photo) once again we enjoyed a self-prepared evening meal and chat over drinks before adjourning for hopefully an uninterrupted sleep. Fat chance!
